Trademark Law

Branding is an essential component of your business. As the owner of a trademark you have the legal right to prevent others from using your mark or a mark similar to yours. As a new business owner, the selection of your mark and how you plan to promote your business to your customers is a critical decision. For this reason, before you select your mark and begin investing funds in promoting the brand, it is important that you conduct the necessary research to make sure your mark is not infringing on the mark of another business. In many instances, business owners are eager to get started with their businesses and begin using a mark which creates a likelihood of confusion on another existing mark. Very often business owners received Cease and Desist letters from the owner of the mark demanding to cease using the mark and seeking monetary damages. Our firm provides representation to business owners and individuals who would like to register their mark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
